Empress Wang saw Xiao Baoxin walk down the stairs, knowing what was going on. He was completely different from Madam Yin’s brute force. She understood that he had a target in mind, and was not the boorish, domineering, brave, and scheming young lady that the rumors said.
She was a little happy.
“You know the big picture and understand the situation. Although you have broken off your engagement with the Yuan family, you will eventually find someone you like. If you don’t mind my taste, I’ll search for you properly.”
Xiao Baoxin didn’t dare to believe Empress Wang’s words, thinking that the mother of a country really had the leisure to meddle in such a matter. However, with these words, it meant that the officials had officially approved of the Xiao and Yuan families ‘annulment of the engagement. It was set in stone, and she was not the one in the wrong. This was more worth it than anything else.
“This subject’s daughter thanks the Empress for her love.”
Xiao Baoxin was so happy that his snot bubble did not come out. On the other hand, Lady Yin felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles. It was as if grass had grown under her buttocks. She wished she could immediately disappear from the Jiaofang Palace.
She could finally tell that this Xiao Baoxin was not someone who did not know how to speak. His description was vulgar. She was trying to differentiate between people.
People would talk to the Empress and make the Empress happy, but they would consider everything for her.
Xiao Bao knew the big picture, but her son didn’t know the big picture and only knew how to attract cats and play with dogs, right?
Madam Yin felt hatred in her heart.
Suddenly, she realized that Empress Wang’s gaze had stopped on her face.
Even Xiao Baoxin was looking over. Madam Yin felt a little uncomfortable. Why were they all looking at her?
“Then, since the matter has been investigated, this official’s wife will take her leave first.”
“Madam Yin, please wait.”
Empress Wang took a deep breath. She could barely hold back the smile that she had squeezed out.
“Madam Yin came to me with a complaint and said many inappropriate and disrespectful words and accusations in front of Eldest Lady Xiao. Even though we are elders, we have to admit our mistakes. Lady Xiao was the daughter of a manor. Lady Yin was also a woman and a mother. She should know how important a woman’s reputation was to a person.”
What he meant was that he wanted her to apologize to this girl?
Madam Yin was stunned.” I did wrongly blame her before, but she must have framed my son.”
“That’s good. Since Lady Yin insists that it was Lady Xiao who framed her, I will ask the Emperor to send people from the Supreme Court to arrest and interrogate everyone in Sophocles Flower Alley. If Lady Xiao framed her, as the Empress of a country, I will definitely punish her severely.”
“But if you, Madam Yin, deliberately falsely accuse him, then the Zhongsan Great Physician will not be strict with his family, and he will not need to be an official.”
“Empress!” Lady Yin was panicking. Was was the Queen Wang making it clear that she wanted to side with the Xiao family? “Why do you have to do this, Lady Xiao… With my son is just a small matter, how dare I trouble the Empress to trouble you.”
“It’s a small matter to starve to death, but it’s a big matter to lose your chastity.” Xiao Baoxin said indifferently. “This official’s daughter requests the Empress to make the decision and investigate this matter thoroughly.”
Zhou Weiniang was a half-mad woman, and she had sent it over because…It could be seen that he was indeed going crazy. Since then, the secrets of the rear residence were rarely placed on the table, so the Empress’s treatment was also reasonable. After all, these Lil ‘Miss all had their own families behind them. She understood that many things were fine when they were done.
However, Madam Yin was a mad dog that went around biting people. If she did not teach her a lesson now, she would really think that she was easy to bully.
Yuan Jiuniang had not recovered from the poison and her reputation had already been ruined by the young ladies. She had indeed deliberately drugged the wine, and the one who drugged it was Lady Xiao. Now that Yuan Chen had also fallen into Xiao Baoxin’s hands, this Xiao Baoxin definitely had a grudge against their Yuan family. He should not have listened to the man’s words and gone to the Xiao residence to apologize and forcefully take this marriage!
Unfortunately, it was too late for regrets. The family of three had fallen in Xiao Baoxin’s hands one after another, and they even had a niece. She was destined to be the nemesis of the Yuan family.
Lady Yin did not dare to bet on Empress Wang’s determination. She did not even blink when she was involved with the Wang family’s children. She was also willing to risk everything for her own reputation.
“Lady Xiao, you…Forgive auntie this time, auntie is also anxious to love her daughter, and actually let you be wronged. It’s, it’s, it’s auntie’s fault.”
Was Xiao Baoxin satisfied?
He was not satisfied. His self-reflection was not deep enough.
“I can understand how auntie feels as a mother, but I’m also a child. I have a father and a mother. If I’m scolded, insulted, and slandered, my parents will also feel sorry for me. I hope auntie can understand my filial piety and not let my parents suffer along with me.”
Madam Yin almost couldn’t catch her breath. She had lived for more than forty years, and this was the first time she had been educated by a young girl!
“This official’s wife will take her leave.” Madam Yin staggered to her feet.
Empress Wang ignored her. Seeing that Madam Yin had left and completely disappeared, she said,”You little lady, you have a sharp tongue and won’t lose out at all.”
Xiao Baoxin smiled,”! have to thank the Empress for presiding over justice.””
She knocked her head on the ground. It was a sincere kowtow. When Empress Wang heard it, her heart trembled.
“I just said that you’re smart, and now you’re stupid. The ground is so hard, don’t really hurt yourself. Someone quickly help Lady Xiao up. You are Father and Mother’s precious flesh and blood. If you hurt your head here, your Father and Mother will feel even more heartache.”
Empress Wang was using her words to tease her. Xiao Baoxin couldn’t help but smile and rub his forehead. It really hurt.
But so what? She was in a good mood!

Empress Wang gave Xiao Baoxin the time to brew a cup of tea before sending her out.
When Xiao Baoxin was summoned into the palace, it was already late in the morning. Later, the Empress summoned the young ladies of each family and let the female officials interrogate them one by one.
It was naturally dark, long past the time when the palace gates were locked.
Two palace maids carried the palace lanterns in front of them. Xiao Baoxin walked along the silent palace path, listening to the monotonous footsteps of the three people.
Xiao Baoxin had long legs and big steps, but in order to accommodate the two palace maids, he walked a little slower. When he walked around Taiji Palace, he suddenly saw a palace lantern. It was another palace lantern sending people out.
Xiao Baoxin looked up and saw Xie Xian strolling leisurely in the courtyard, as if he was taking a stroll in his own courtyard. Under the light, his face was half-lit, and his eyes were as black as the cold stars in the sky.
Xiao Baoxin was used to seeing his own beauty, so he was suddenly stunned in the palace filled with stars.
In the day, this guy had a gentle temperament, but at night, he looked gloomy, mysterious, and dangerous. As a man, he was so good-looking that it made one’s hair stand on end.
The beauty of a man was not in his face, but in his bearing and temperament. However, this Xie Xian had both face and bearing. This made him invincible.
Xiao Baoxin only felt that even the starlight had dimmed.
“Lady Xiao.” Xie Xian curled his lips into a smile and greeted first.
“Thank you, Attendant.” Xiao Baoxin returned the greeting.
Just this form of address caused Xie Xian to smile.
He almost blinded the little eunuch who was holding a palace lantern. This smile…It was so dazzling. Did he need to put in so much effort to carry the palace lantern? Put it out, it’s enough to illuminate.
After that, the two of them didn’t speak anymore. Xie Xian was in front, and Xiao Baoxin was behind. They were less than a step apart, and just like that, one after the other, they walked out of the palace gate.
The cars of the Xie and Xiao Residences had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time. Xiao Baoxin saw Xiao Baoshu sitting at the front of the car at the first moment. Before she could smile, she heard Xie Xian suddenly say,
“My younger sister is proud and aloof, and it’s rare for her to have a close friend. If Eldest Lady Xiao doesn’t mind, I hope that the two families can interact more.”
There was a faint smile at the corner of his eyes, and his eyes were as clear as water, making people unconsciously look in..
